The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner
Fiction 

What it’s about: A debut novel that will leave you charmed by its characters, plot, and idyllic town of Chawton, located in the United Kingdom. This historical novel is centered around Chawton House, which is where Jane Austen spent the last eight years of her life. The world is recovering from WWII and the distant relatives of Jane Austen are unable to keep up with the maintenance of Chawton House. A group of Austen lovers join forces to save Chawton House and restore it to its full grandeur. Chapters are told by alternating characters and readers discover the past of the characters and why they are so invested in Jane Austen and saving Chawton House.  

Why you might like it: Fans of Jane Austen will enjoy reading about her life and how this real-life society helped to preserve Chawton House; if you are interested in reading about the aftereffects of WWII and how it shaped people in the small town; those who enjoy reading romance stories that include “will they/won’t they” get together plots.
